[Whamo]

After a bit of miscommunication with the machine shop (that sounds more scary than it was) I finally got the block and heads back.

I was very happy that the heads checked out with no cracks and all the block needed was a bit of honing...I was going to do the head mods myself, but things got so crazy that I had the shop do it...my Wrenching Yoda has used em for years and swears by em.

They cut down the valve guides for the new cam specs and replaced the press-in studs with the good ole screw-in ones...

Hoping to start assembly after Christmas but need to wait for another paycheck to order the Edlebrock Performer RPM manifold with the air gap (more on that later).

I like to be a bit different and decided to change things up a bit on the engine color...the block and valve covers will be VHT's Cast Iron and I found that Duplicolor's Racing Green is similar to the green in my Studio logo...I think I dig it...
